Overview of the luxury item
Overview
Friar’s Head is located at Riverhead, New York short distance from Shinnecock Hills .
Set in 350 acres, this rugged course was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and opened for play in 2003 with the
philosophy that golf at Friar’s Head should be about options and creativity.
It is a private club where caddies must be used at all times. There are no yardage markers on the course and both members and guests are
encouraged to walk the course as opposed to using buggies.
Friar’s Head is routed through rugged, wooded dunes and former farmland. The course starts in the dunes, holes 2 7 and 1113 are sited on an old
potato farm then the remaining holes are back in the sand hills.
Some of the greens are enormous – they vary in size from 3,000 to 18,000 square feet. Many bunkers are both bearded and huge; others are long
strips that are merely huge! To the north of the property, there are 200foot cliffs overlooking Long Island Sound.
The signature, par four 15th hole is 460 yards long. From an elevated tee position, the tee shot must avoid a cavernous bunker which gathers in shots
as the fairway slopes from right to left. The approach shot is then played to a green framed to the rear by trees which partially shield it from winds
coming off the Sound.
